The White House will not be altering its hardline approach when it comes to pushing for the complete invalidation of the Affordable Care Act, President Trump said Wednesday, amid reports that Attorney General Bill Barr had been urging him to back off and focus instead of specific parts of it.
The fate of the law commonly known as ObamaCare goes into the hands of the Supreme Court in the fall in a case brought by a group of Republican-led states, and the Trump administration had until Wednesday to change its position.
“We’re not doing anything. In other words, we’re staying with the group,” Trump told reporters Wednesday. “ObamaCare is a disaster, but we’ve run it very well. And we’ve made it barely acceptable. It was a disaster under President [Barack] Obama and it’s very bad health care. What we want to do is terminate it and give great health care.”
The president said he intends “to replace Obamacare with great health care at a lesser price and preexisting conditions will be included, and you won’t have the individual mandate, which was expensive and terrible and very unfair to everybody.
